Thats not a Smart thing to do when you go in water thats higher then the the tires and I'm not loosing that much power 425hp last checked on a Dyno, and that Filter is alot bigger then it looks it won't fit inthe fender well area, its when I go for long Distance driving I move it next to the Radiator down by the grill where its ment to go, its up that high to keep Mud and Water away
